Last month I attended the "Twenty-Something Meet Up at the BlogHer Conference, facilitated by the fabulous andria. Julia Smith, who blogs at the idealist and was in the room asked "Where are the twenty something/millennial bloggers writing about social change, activism, and nonprofits?" I left room inspired to compile a living list. The next logical step, of course, is to start to get to know some of these bloggers by doing interviews.
If you're staycationing this summer, you can take a vicarious road trip by following Mary Logan Barmeyer -- National Geographic Green Guide research specialist -- and her cousin, Trish Harris via their blog, Two Green Girls on the Road.

There is a certain kind of person that leans towards happiness. I admire that kind of person. Some religions and/or spiritual paths seem to be pretty sure that happiness comes from within and that it is within your control. Frankly, this blows my mind.

Even though I'm more like twenty-something times 2.5, I attended the "Twenty-Something Meet Up" at the BlogHer Conference. Why did I go? I keep hearing from nonprofits that one of the reasons they want to incorporate a social networking or media strategy is to reach a younger audience. So, having this opportunity listen was very valuable. Zandria did a fabulous job of facilitating the session. There were probably about 40 or 50 women in the room - not all were twenty somethings.
I'm going to be honest with you. I'm a little burned out on do-goodness.
August 19th is not only my 39th birthday, but also the 3rd birthday of when I started blogging about social change and nonprofit-y things, and I've hit a wall. All I want to do is read cookbooks, do yoga, and spend time with my husband.
